Thanks claudiux.. I remember there was built in options to re-arrange the buttons in older Mints. After it was removed I had to rewire my muscle memory since I had uses a non-standard layout.

v2.0.0 with Expert Mode is here. You can define the exact button layout you want. This allows you to modify the order of the buttons.

It only allows to turn on/off controls, but not re-arrange their order. Also it would be cool if it would allow to display app icon.

v2.0.0 with Expert Mode is coming. It allows you to reorganize the order of the buttons. Application icon display does not depend on extensions.
